A school in Sheffield has banned the use of smart devices including phones and watches.

Forge Valley School no longer allows the use of smartphones, watches or headphones on its premises.

Any student found to be using them has to hand them in, with the gadgets not returned for 24 hours.

Head teacher Dale Barrowclough said children were previously left “zombie-like” as they were “glued to their mobile phones”.

One pupil said: “I’m finding myself speaking to a lot more people so I think it’s helpful.”
